I wonder why this has never been mentioned before (OK. I found out only
just now, when trying to set up a sophisticated forwarding system using
the filter-rules, but alas the username contained an underscore).
It seems a bug that should have been found rather quick (we all sometimes
use underscores in filenames don't we?).

Please post the solution for this to the net, this must be generally useful.
